We go to the clip from a few weeks ago of Arianna Grace attacking her own father, Santino Marella.
Santino makes his way out to the ring. Santino welcomes the crowd and hypes the big night. He says new expectation and pressure is on them all now; it’s the beginning of something incredible. He says he’s been distracted, hurt, angry, and confused. It took him a minute to shake off the betrayal. Santino says he has a company to run and he won’t make a mistake – the board has decided that he can use some help – Daria Rae (formerly Sonya DeVille in WWE) makes her way out to the ring.
She congratulates Santino and says that she’s been watching from afar and credits him for building the foundation of this company. Daria says the one thing this company doesn’t need anymore – it needs structure and discipline.
Santino tries to interrupt her, but she tells Santino to shut up. She’s been in this position before and she can do his job better then him. She tells Santino to stay out of her way, that she’ll be known as “The Suit”, and that people need to shut up when she’s talking.
As her first official order of business, she signed a new Knockout – Elayna Black (former Cora Jade) comes out from the back and stands at the top of the ramp.
